Breathe deep the gathering gloom

For some reason those lyrics popped into my head. I think they're from a Moody Blues song. I guess some of it has to do with the bittersweet nighttime mood that sets in after the kids are in bed and it's just me alone with my thoughts and this keyboard. Most days I have the kids and they drive me nuts, I can't wait for night. But at night I get pre-nostalgia for the future sadness I'll feel when they're grown up and gone. It's hard to imagine, but of course it happens to everyone. Up they grow, off they go.

Of course the impending gloom is aided by the cookie-fueled sugar crest and trough that follows. No point in denying that.

God, this is boring. Maybe I'll try again when I have something to say.
